Even with nVidia obviously paying them, you'd think they'd at least make the benchmarks slightly believable. A 9600GT beating a 4870, let alone the x2 version? Yeah effing right... That's ignoring the sheer idiocy of claiming that a 3850 will outperform a 4870x2.

I've always been under the impression Tom's Hardware was super believable.

bah, its clearly a type-o. Tom's is a reliable site, but they've recently revamped their UI and charts, clearly still have some mistakes. If you look at any of their reviews they dont make those mistakes.

+1, their setups may not be the best... but their numbers are solid. This is clearly a mistake on the labels not matching the FPS results.

That looks better, I just wish they had older/lower-end cards listed.
